iran says it would have retaliated with full force against any attack after israel draws up a case for war at the un. elaborate hopes special all george's word is question as alleged links between special services and chechen terrorists come to light. and france wants to tax its wealthiest citizens to the hilt as president fails his first budget critics say this will only see the money flee the country.

worldwide news live from moscow city center this is r t with me rule research shy iran says it is strong enough to defend itself and will retaliate with force against any attack after israel ramped up its war rhetoric before the world community at the u.n. general assembly. has been following developments in. israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu took to the podium to address the international body and presented somewhat of a show wintel his diplomatic approach this year in his speech was to hold up somewhat of a cartoonish figure of a bomb to indicate what he believes is iran's nuclear program he was holding

up this drawing literally drew a red line in it he indicated israelis believe that iran has enriched seventy percent. to make a bomb and at the ninety percent line these are really prime minister drew a red line with a marker to indicate that the international community he says should draw that line and if you run lie it would lead to military intervention benjamin netanyahu says that sanctions over the past seven years that have been placed on tehran has not deterred them from continuing their nuclear program and so he was trying to rally the world body to take a more forceful actions against iran but clearly this was a different tactic most representatives take what addressing the international

community usually they give somewhat of a speech there is some tension rising between the u.s. and israel over you rawn because the u.s. has not been as forceful with this red line rhetoric as israel has been and israel is hoping that the u.s. will be more aggressive in setting in which there could be side of kind of consequences put upon iran if iran continues its nuclear program so clearly a lot of issues being discussed at the u.n. as all these world leaders are meeting in new york for the week. oh of course one of marina portnoy reporting benyamin netanyahu estimated a timeframe of spring or summer two thousand and thirteen for iran to complete the next stage of its uranium enrichment middle east commentator ramsey but who says the israeli prime minister is treading on very dangerous ground he is digging a hole for himself he provided this timeline of one year where we can't possibly be

go beyond that so he basically committed himself directly or indirectly that he is going to destroy iran's nuclear ambitions within one here if nothing is being done about it and in a way i feel like i think it's a message also to the united states that if you do not back us up we are going to act unilaterally and we know the power of that is we're in the lobby in washington and elsewhere in america they are not going to allow this to happen so we are going to see you when we hear of constant israel even pressures to drag the united states into another war they do not see eye to eye when it comes to iran they do not see eye to eye when it comes to many issues including the patient really occupation of palestine now the challenge is will obama hold his ground or will he in the selling out the same way that he did in the past i think this is the challenge and i think this timeline is not just concerning iran but it's also concerning the united states itself. you're watching r.t. live from moscow thanks for joining us so when georgia reported it or killed eleven

suspected militants last month claiming they had crossed from the north caucasus some are convinced there was a bit more to it than meets the eye now the whole anti terror raid is being questioned as an elaborate hoax to discredit russia. has gone off explains why there are big doubts about what exactly happened. the outcome of a recent alleged police operation near georgia's border with russia's republic of dagestan eleven suspected terrorist dead the b.b.c. says that the armed men were chechens with crossed into georgian territory and kidnapped around ten locals before being caught by police the news spreads quickly but not everyone is buying it you know this was all organized by georgian security services the lack of transparency and details about the incident has led many to believe the whole so-called eighty terror operation was a complete hoax georgian authorities have been very successful in creating an image

of a modern worth of civil rights a beacon of freedom for w. bush once called but in this case the opposition is accusations are fighting supporters on the other side of the caucasus meet his city on the arm of he spent two decades fighting on the side of chechen militants against the moscow officially representing them in georgia he also has doubts about what really happened at this latest water operation. first of all their weapons were american made second none of them fired off a single shot that's not so the uniforms of the so-called fighters were brand new that was saakashvili plan he sent his guys across the border into russia and then had them shot by the georgian police this was a setup just to frame russia no one will ever be able to prove anything of course. he cleans the easiest for dijon with terrorists began in the ninety's when he personally helped chechen separatists by delivering weapons and aid from georgia.

surely the pankisi gorge in georgia is really close to chechnya it takes just ten minutes to fly across the border by helicopter so we helped our warriors from georgian territory from the gorge we delivered weapons money to the injured and then send them all around the world for treaty. and all with the help of georgian security services and. we got the weapons from the depositories of the georgian anti terror center our guys came there with cash were able to choose whichever weapons they wanted and bought them an. album of says the really interesting jewish milton's didn't diminish even after president saakashvili came to power a man often bridge street as an envoy of democracy. everything is still controlled by the anti terror center the mujahideen and the gym marks are in its hands they are their people any chechen who lives in georgia and wants to study in an islamic

country has to go through the antiterrorist center they tell you to believe you go to this center meet with some official and they won't let you go into you say yes to you agree to work for them and all them of graeme's that his knowledge almost cost him his life while going to sas unleash an attempt he was allowed to return to church with a green light from russian authorities after he asked for forgiveness now he plans to reveal everything he knows you are just going off r.t. rosalee the chechen republic. well taxing the rich and cutting public spending the standard tours that governments resort to when trying to balance their country's budget and that's what french president francois hollande is going to do is he set to present what he has dubbed as frances toughest budget for thirty years of the stubborn lack of economic growth and skyrocketing are skyrocketing unemployment have triggered fears the measures could only land france into deeper trouble. as

mindless. therefore sir i often see very. young destroyed year assures about overbought up as you go there i believe the time of crisis is over it's now time for france's president francois around to perform a miracle this is how some of the task facing all along in his first annual budget and the country's image in the faltering euro zone is also at stake the government needs to save thirty billion euros in twelve months to reduce the deficit from this year's four and a half percent to three percent the e.u. ceiling for member countries higher taxes for business and wealthy individuals are expected to bring twenty billion and all and has outlined a plan to save the other ten billion by cutting public spending plans was so you know has worked in a handful of french ministries over the last twenty years he says france's current leader may fall into the same trap many of his criticizers deal. who who who the

past decades of governments have been cutting and cutting and cutting mostly to expenses to balance budgets but in fact the more they cut the slower the economic growth and consequently more cuts this will be a catastrophic budget i think taxing the rich and unprecedented seventy five percent for those that earn however a million euros a year was one of our lands crucial election promises allow a publisher editor and a french millionaire says the move is nothing but a political game. did this to make his electorate come down to make an impression he's doing something but this is all bluff it can't help it's simply not enough there's not that many rich people and friends while we sit in a man's house in belgium where the businessman moves to avoid high taxes at home he tells me many of france's reach and their money will follow suit distributed worst

is the people who are now happy that the rich are being punished. don't understand the government will start with the rich but when they fail to succeed and i'm one hundred percent certain films will descend on the totem pole and tax the poor. some experts warn that not only french money but foreign capital will also flee with such a gloomy outlook projected for the future the current situation is not too bright either last week the country's unemployment surpassed three million for the first time in years french president francois campaign slogan was change is now today four months on the right indeed signs of many changes here in the country but while france is economically struggling with an enormous dad huge budget deficit and unemployment level the highest it's been in more than a decade the question is whether the change that people here voted for has been for the better. or if not. paris france. it is

a pleasure having you with us here in our two today on rory sushi and certainly with more news to come after a short break. i never thought i could earn a living this way. natale a show of oil is the norm or should test small arms so there's a lot almost machine building ploy and not obvious sourced count of all the weapons she's fired over the past twelve years. i got so used to it sometimes my friends ask me to join them at the rifle range and i say no wait i'm so tired of shooting. the applause history goes from making far audience during world war two to ballistic missiles from nuclear submarines during the cold war the bulk of the soviet industry was moved here in the 1940's to flee the advancing germans so if you were also became the heart of soviet military production closed off to

foreigners full hall for a century it thrived on the massive moods of the soviet military when the u.s.s.r. collapsed but life here was shaken to the core but some adapted to better than others. this is the truck factory russia's number one truck made for girls a look at how well the workplace is organized everything's done to make sure the workers don't waste time there was so production is booming the factory has largely managed to get on to civil rails these johnsons sold around the globe hayabusa brand new be the way to be delivered to acquire seventy trucks like this one roll up the bronx going to bed about every day look about this things that absolutely huge. well i'm no formula one pilot but hopefully if i can get up that. well i can go far to drive.

whoa that was. to get one of these to travel to one every morning with the cost of about forty thousand dollars i should start saving money. nearly three in the afternoon moscow time this is r t appearing on american t.v. has proved to be a bit of a hard test for the british prime minister david cameron he failed to answer some key questions in a mock u.k. citizen exam set by the chat show host and it was found out the prime minister is not alone when it comes to gaps in historical knowledge. the life in the u.k. citizenship test a must for anyone wanting to qualify for a british possible according to the government studying for it is meant to help all those hoping to make the u.k. their home integrate better into british society just last year prime minister

david cameron in paris changes to the full amount of the exam saying that instead of on screen questions on european institutions british culture and history needed to take priority and during his car visit to the us mr cameron made an appearance at the david letterman show where he was faced with the u.k. citizenship test of his own. a brittania you know written by whom i mean it's it's the iconic association with the british empire from your testimony that. i'll go i'll go for the magna carta literally means great for the great charter and wondered out the seeds of democracy really brittania which is a beautiful refrain. based on appalled by james thompson a family with james thompson well i'm not. the british media had a field day over the oxford an eton educated lead as epic fail over the questions

about the magna carta and the rule britannia one of the real questions on the u.k. citizenship test all six how many parliamentary constituencies there are in the united kingdom the correct answer six hundred and fifty now we've come to the u.k.'s national library to find out if the london is ten can answer that question correctly would you be able to tell me how many constituencies there are in the u.k. . sorry i just don't know what you pay for so many constituencies there are in the u.k. not. so it looks like david cameron is not the only one to struggle with the aunt says every year over one hundred thousand people take the test with as many as one in three failing fortunately for them unlike the british prime minister. that is career had ended during the show they can enjoy as many retakes as they like. parties are reporting right now spain's deputy prime minister says that any cut alone in a referendum on independence would be unconstitutional and will be stopped that's

after the parliament in spain's richest region agreed to hold a vote saying it will be easier for catalonians to tackle the financial crisis alone meanwhile in madrid a fresh round of austerity measures was announced that will see more cuts to social programs and tax hikes have caused so much anger in the capital this week it led to violent clashes in which over sixty people were injured dr ellis ended up losing the professor of economics at the university of barcelona says the faltering economy is just adding fuel to the long running to. catalonia is a people with a long history of language and identity and it has been struggling for the last thirty years through the recognize them to develop its own policies in many many different aspects within the spanish system was in the spanish democracy or so-called democracy and it hasn't been. in part because of the economic

relationship we seem to spend this estate has been very very discriminatory towards catalonia spain belongs to the european union the european union want. the spanish state to act violently against democratic movements such as the catalan movement anyway would be nice to hear that armed forces is the king kong the last to see something or not to eat and to. then they are not going to use violence that would be nice. thanks for joining us here in our to today russia on the warpath against genetically modified corn it's off of the findings of french scientists cast a new shadow over the u.s. agriculture giant monsanto already deluged in scandal and court cases so the story now towards he's shown thomas. this all stems from a french study that was released in mid september that is now become known as the infamous rat tumor study in the study they took the genetically modified corn

encased six o three from one santo and placed it against natural corn over a two year period and what they found is that rats fed on a diet of corn had a higher rate of occurrences of untimely death organ failure and tumor growth now as a result russia has banned monsanto corn from being imported in to russia and they have also asked their own scientists to take a look at the study conduct their own tests and monsanto has of course gone against the study saying that it doesn't even meet the bare minimum requirements of scientific research and they've also kind of neglected it saying that this isn't going to have a real impact on their sales because russia is a net grain exporter rather than an importer russia also already has in place a ban on the for genetically modified products but if you look at what france is doing they're taking a look at this study they themselves are in the process of considering a ban which is believed to that could spark a european wide trend to ban them and central point now if you look at monsanto

corporation united states they have some troubles there as well more than two thousand farmers have signed a petition to get the u.s. government to study further this specific type of genetically modified corn also in california there's proposition thirty seven which would require food labels to say hey this is been genetically modified monsanto doesn't want that they've actually lobbied against proposition thirty seven by putting more than four million of their own money against prop thirty seven so they've got their own troubles in the states and here as well right now this temporary ban is in effect until russia can take a look at it and determine the safety of fact of this corn here in russia. all right and you'll bush so you again we understand south america the new hunting ground for russian oil that's right rosiness one the rights to overfield in venezuela will pump sixteen billion dollars insecure. with venezuela cv fee it's a busy time for a. deal with britain's b.p.

service the details. there have been more twists and turns in this deal than in the museum of the park ride to really get the full picture when you take a look at you makes up and how we got so this point so the british partners are here the russian side is represented by a tension between the two has been brewing for years culminated when b.p. decided to venture out on its own and partner up with another oil major that was wrong to explore the arctic will of course would have a none of that so the decision and the deal in court last year you see the brits were on the legal obligations to go through their mission b.p. for any oil and gas operations in the country so this was the first time b.p. tried to ditch its russian partners but i wouldn't be the last b.p. has always been close to the kremlin and saw enough as a very appealing

a partner and that's why it's not letting the go that easily so what have they decided to do the brits are now selling their fifty percent stake now a little price tag was twenty five billion dollars wrong has offered fifteen billion dollars which is hardly close. with a twelve and a half percent stake in the company the warmth of one is a very appealing proposal. is now said to be considering a cash for the higher stake and this for the brits. that have been sent all of that b.p. has committed to use the money gets from the sale for mutual projects with of all snuff such as exploring the arctic shelf so at the end of the day no matter who gets the fifty percent stake bottom line is b.p. will. find a way to read you know it and partner up with its new found. rain across the river

europe has just swung south as you can see this comes as spain unveils a tough new cost cutting budget but there's still question marks where the country will last for an e.u. bailout that's restricting your against the sell by the time for the gold all round september maybe the rubles biggest game since january the crude price is over ninety two dollars a barrel today that's sending moscow high in the off the noon here and that's all we've got time for use in interviews on the web site. by daniel thank you see you. are just not here our time to get all the geeky and nerdy the latest gadgets and start over developments and technology update in just about. gracefully. it is a way of life traditionally the people are. herders.

in the industry. also taking advantage of the spotlight of international companies to make a splash here in russia for example this roughly one hundred twenty five thousand dollars pack made in germany could be tried for about five hundred bucks for ten minutes but the most practical of these seem to be the sea legs. with. this new zealand creation is the easiest way to get a boat. and it's no slouch either when it's in the top speeds of around eighty kilometers an hour. spectators came to see the pride and joy of russian engineering . one of the biggest stars here this show is going to be two hundred which for years has helped russian emergency services help save lives here and abroad despite that success engineers of work continuously improving modernize the systems so that the newest models are better than ever.
